Geraldine L. Richmond
Geraldine Lee Richmond (born January 17, 1953) [1] is an American physicist and chemist.[2]
Richmond is currently the Presidential Chair in Science and Professor of Chemistry at the University of Oregon. She received her BS in chemistry in 1975 from Kansas State University and her PhD in 1980 at UC Berkeley in physical chemistry. From 1980 to 1985 she was an Assistant Professor of chemistry at Bryn Mawr College. Since 1985, Richmond has been at the University of Oregon, first, from 1985 to 1991, as an Associate Professor of Chemistry, and since 1991 as a Professor. Until 1995 she was director of the Chemical Physics Institute. From 1998 to 2001 she was the Knight Professor of Liberal Arts and Sciences and between 2002-2013, the Richard M. and Patricia H. Noyes Professor of Chemistry at the University of Oregon.[3] Richmond was appointed by Governor Kitzhaber to the Oregon State Board of Higher Education from 1999-2003 and reappointed by Governor Kulongoski from 2004-2006.
In 2014, Richmond was elected president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science for a term beginning in February 2015.[4] In 2014, she was appointed by Secretary John Kerry to serve as the Science Envoy for the Lower Mekong River Countries.[5] She was appointed by President Obama to the National Science Board for a term of 2012-2016.[6]
Richmond is the Director and co-Founder of COACh,[7] a grass roots organization founded in 1997 and based at the University of Oregon that is working to increase the number and success of women scientists in the U.S. and internationally.
Richmond's scientific research area encompasses the chemical and physical processes that occur in complex surfaces and boundary layers.
